  How do you "feel rich" if there aren't any bonuses?

  My guess is because you can't get them in-game without having paid real life cash for them. So, you feel rich in real life, not in-game.
  
  Although, that likely won't so much be the case for the next several weeks since many people will likely have them from making their own guild with 50 alts.

  Since they are tradeable you can use them to convert real money to ingame money directly.

  Check their Fakebook page.
  

  The website is unavailable due to hardware issues. Our IT team is working to address the issue right now. Stay tuned.

  Well um this is a weird addition. Definitely trying out a new cash cow to make up for losses

  Yup, totally to make up for reduced platinum token prices.

  Arn't plats like 30 cents each at this point? That seems reasonable for not heavy runners of this game. I'm thinking of throwing money into getting a bag slot and the leftovers on tokens, and just hold them till I need em on the weekend.

  I dunno, platnum tokens when used with Evie does give an extra drop core. It's like the visual of a white cores aren't put in, but the effects are there.
  
  Have you notice that when you play your OB character you get one extra drop at the end? That's probably a form of a white core. All OB character's hairstyles are permnent premium hair <3 while the new characters made aren't like that.
  
  In short: +7 luck or the extra +10 luck when you use the platnum tokens does benefit in the end.

  I think any good guild master would use the prize tokens to help benefit the guild as a whole. I go out of my way to buy platinums for our guild bank character so that guild members may use them to help grind BP to hit 38 faster or for our daily AP grinding sessions. The members respect me for doing this and sometimes contribute their own platinums as well as only using as many as they need without going overboard.

  Yah, this. My main gets an extra random item at the end of a boss fight while my evie doesn't. The only difference being a +7 luck hair on the main. I haven't tried with a platinum token though so I don't know if I get another extra core. Whats the difference between +7 or +10 luck though if they both give just 1 more core? Is there some combination of + luck number that will give even more cores or something?
  
  On another note, surprised they went and made up a different token for the American version and didn't just make platinum tokens tradable while at the same time making the ones they gave out free untradable. Perhaps they are experimenting with us and if it goes well, they might implement it in the Korean servers?

  I never noticed the extra core D: I don't really pay that much attention anyway.. buut is good to know that the extra drop system is in place, and we just don't see it as a white core.
  
  Anyway, this crimson token thing is kinda meh, I want to see how much people will sell them for x.o

  On a side note: Oh snap, it's Glamorous. Nice 3 lvl 38s, you are crazier than I thought.
